almost

the sun is setting on the shore

now this day is done

got used to you this close to me

and keeping me warm

this sadness keeps me company

as soon as you're gone

all the promises we made

that we never dreamed we'd break

i'll forget everything i knew

almost a perfect life with you

memories shine and fade away

we were so close

we were almost

until the darkness turns to light

i'll get through today but not tonight

almost a perfect life with you

we were so close

we were almost

i know i must move on from here

don't think of the past

sometimes there's no amount of love

that can make it last

all the feelings that we shared

that we'll never have again

so this is me letting you go

and now i've got no one to run to

we'll always know we were so close

we were almost
